The wider population of Dunedin have long tolerated the bibulous habits of the many students in the city. But that patience is being strained by the emergence of a bizarre new branch of drinking game, according to reports from the southern New Zealand city.

I’ve heard that one nickname for moonshine in the past was “San Juan possum juice”. The possum part of this did not come from a game however but from the fact that possums, drawn by the odor, sometimes fell into mash containers out in the woods and drowned.

All I need to hear is ‘drink’, ‘tree’, ‘fall’ and I’m in, we’ll adapt the rules for Central Texas as we see fit, hold mah beer while I assemble a committee.

Now somebody’s got to bring the javelinas to make it interesting.... and that would be JPSB.

It’s a little difficult to drink in a palm tree..

Sunny Dunny - not a bit shocked that the local students were looking for some stimulation. I'd recommend a cold bottle of Speight's; it's what a Southern Man drinks...
